The Solent Seascape Project breaks ground with pioneering saltmarsh restoration in the UK.
The project aims to prove that sediment dredged from marinas can rebuild degraded shorelines and reverse saltmarsh decline. They will repurpose 2,500 cubic meters from Chichester Harbour. Unlike traditional methods, a large sleigh will pull sediment up the shoreline in stages, allowing pioneer saltmarsh species to recolonise and stabilise the area.
